Paul Kim Eliminated in 16th Place ($29,309)

Anderson Silva raised to 50,000 from the hijack seat, chip leader Rasmus Nielsen reraised to 150,000 from the button, and Paul Kim shoved all in for just under 300,000 from the small blind.

Silva folded, and as Nielsen was deciding what to do, Kim stood up and jumped around a little. Nielsen was momentarily distracted, but then after he counted what was needed to call, he went ahead and did so.

Kim had {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}, and Nielsen {A-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}. The flop brought an ace -- {A-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}, and Nielsen was ahead. The turn and river -- {5-Spades}{J-Clubs} -- didn't help Kim, and he's out in 16th.
